Abstract

A cloned fragment from Lactococcus lactis chromosome encoding the L33 ribosomal protein was sequenced. Two incomplete open reading frames (ORFs) were also found: the upstream ORF shows similarity to the tetracycline-resistance protein (Tet) of Bacillus stearothermophilus, and the downstream ORF shows homology to a protein of Bacillus subtilis participating in sporulation (SpoVE), and to proteins of Escherichia coli involved in cell division (FtsW) and the maintenance of cell shape (RodA).
